Covid - 19

A big difference is that for H1N1, we didn’t have any knowledge of its existence until we already had an outbreak in the US. It had not been distinguished from the regular flu viruses at that time and we didn’t know that our flu shot was ineffective for it.

We new about C19 months before we had our first US outbreak. We knew our flu virus wouldn’t work.

You guys can play revisionist history with H1N1, but you have yet to point out even a single thing that the US should have done different with the info that was available.

In addition to his travel ban from China, which was implemented, against the wishes of you libs, Trump also pushed for sending our doctors, a response team to China, to stomp Covid-19 out at its source, just like the US did to stop Ebola in Africa. The Chicoms rejected the offer. Yes, it was the Chicoms, although I'm sure had they agreed, the libs here would have been voicing protests about it. We knew the dangers (the potential danger) of Covid-19 back in November, and Trump took steps to keep it out of the US.

Melts on twitter continued yesterday by many on left:

If he's restrained: "HE'S NOT DOING ANYTHING!"

He acts boldly: "HE'S OVERREACTING!"


Funny how no one is criticizing Quomo for sending national guard to quarantine a city.. They all seem to agree with this. But Cancel flights from Europe for 30 days? How dare he...

A couple of thoughts as we sit here on Thursday morning:

What I find more and more interesting is how this is playing out in the national media vs. local media around the country.

Local stations in the northeast and west coasts are playing this much like the national media. Over the top hype. But in speaking with friends, co-workers, and former co-workers in "flyover country' most of the rest of the nation has media taking a "Facts not Fear" approach. Level headed. No runs on supermarkets or drug stores, etc...

The big outbreaks aren’t in flyover country yet.

It’s in Caddo Parish

SOURCE: Middle Tennessee's baseball team was just informed to turn their bus around and head back home.

I believe that's going to mean that #LATech and MTSU won't be playing their series in Jackson, MS this weekend

Big move by the Fed.

“The fact is that the way the system was set up is that the public health component that Dr. Redfield was talking about was a system where you put it out there in the public and a physician asks for it and you get it. The idea of anybody getting it easily, the way people in other countries are doing it, we’re not set up for that,” Fauci said.

“Do I think we should be? Yes, but we’re not.”

The virus is bad and all, but ...

Are we not even a little concerned that the socialists are taking control of municipal governments in east Texas?

Unless something has changed in the past year, the SBA does not provide loans. Only banks and other such financial institutions loan money. An "SBA loan" is actually a loan guarantee, and that is really an insurance policy for the lender. There are several different SBA loan programs, the basic one is the 7(a), which is up to a 75% guarantee toward the loan amount, should the borrower default. The lender (bank) is made whole up to that 75% threshold. However, the lender has to try to recuperate as much of the outstanding debt as possible, including seizing collateral (property) and suing the borrower for the rest. After some considerable effort the lender can turn to the SBA to be reimbursed any outstanding debt. THEN! using the power of the federal government, the SBA sues the borrower to recoup as much of the unpaid balance as possible. Usually that borrower must seek bankruptcy protection.

When fully explained all the ramifications, most would-be SBA loan guarantee borrowers opt not to pursue the loan.

I think those that would be pursuing these would already be staring at the possibility of bankruptcy.
